| Characteristic | Raku | Gleam |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Flexible, expressive, Perl-inspired with support for multiple paradigms and custom operators. | Clean, concise, ML-inspired syntax with a focus on simplicity and readability. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, concurrent, and reactive programming. | Primarily functional, with strong emphasis on immutability and pattern matching. |
| Typing | Gradually typed: supports both dynamic and static typing. | Statically typed with strong type inference and no runtime type errors. |
| Performance | Generally slower due to its flexibility and dynamic features; performance is improving but not a primary focus. | Compiles to efficient Erlang or JavaScript code, leveraging the BEAM VM for good concurrency and performance. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Growing ecosystem with modules available via the Raku ecosystem, but smaller than more established languages. | Limited native libraries, but can interoperate with Erlang and Elixir libraries on the BEAM platform. |
| Community and support | Active but relatively small community; good documentation and helpful forums. | Small but enthusiastic and growing community; documentation is improving. |
| Learning curve | Steep, due to its rich feature set, flexible syntax, and multiple paradigms. | Gentle, especially for those familiar with functional programming; simple syntax and strong type system help newcomers. |
